Case at a glance
- Result: Confidential Settlement
- Practice: Truck Accidents
- Attorney: Vuk Vujasinovic
A garbage truck struck the motorcycle
Brian rode north on West Sam Houston Parkway South. After passing through a toll booth, he slowed because traffic ahead had slowed. A commercial garbage truck rear-ended his motorcycle and threw him from it.
The garbage-truck driver worked for Quick Silver Hauling, LLC. Brian needed emergency treatment, and doctors ultimately diagnosed a brain injury.
Driver qualifications and company supervision
Vuk pursued a lawsuit for Brian and his wife in Harris County, Texas. Vuk examined whether the driver had the qualifications to operate the commercial truck and whether Quick Silver properly supervised him.
Vuk’s investigation identified inadequate driver qualifications and company supervision, along with other violations of the Texas Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. Those issues concerned both the driver’s conduct and the company’s responsibility for putting him on the road.
A confidential resolution
After the investigation and litigation, the parties reached a confidential settlement for Brian and his wife. The agreement resolved their case arising from the motorcycle collision.
